Drones thoThe only 'adequate cameras' here would be from veritically above the end line. They would be fairly challenging at most grounds to have.
Wouldn't have helped here though. Bowen was blocking from one side and from the other side it would be looking through two goal posts and potentially players on the goal line. A chip in the ball is the only sure fire way, but lets not forget that it was the Premier League managers that blocked semi-automated VAR that would have introduced that technology.Just stick one on either side of the goal line looking right across it
At the very least its better than what we have
Perhaps, but still don't understand why similar isn't providedWouldn't have helped here though.

Because the clubs blocked it, the EPL wanted semi-automated offside and the clubs said no. Know it wasn't offside tonight but a chip in the ball could also help with ball over goal line decisions.Perhaps, but still don't understand why similar isn't provided
I get the clubs didnt want that but what I'm suggesting isn't semi automated offside.Because the clubs blocked it, the EPL wanted semi-automated offside and the clubs said no. Know it wasn't offside tonight but a chip in the ball could also help with ball over goal line decisions.
This is why I have zero sympathy, the managers moaning about offside decisions that have gone against them, or ball out of play decisions, probably voted against using the advanced technology.
I think what @RustyRef is saying is that the chip used for the semi-auto offsides would also help in these tight ball in/out scenariosI get the clubs didnt want that but what I'm suggesting isn't semi automated offside.
There obviously was a camera on the line, but the issue seemed to be that they couldn't see the point that Bowen played the ball as his body was in the way. With a chip in the ball they wouldn't need to see that, and would have been able to know exactly where the ball was at the time it was played.I get the clubs didnt want that but what I'm suggesting isn't semi automated offside.
